Timeles Truths is a new brand to me, I’ve only just heard about them and when I was offered to try one of their sheet masks I was excited but a little anxious! I have never used a sheet mask before so this is my first but certainly won’t be my last.

Timeless Truth Facial Beauty Masks are an innovative brand that unites experts from world-renowned cosmetic research institutes and cutting edge Bio-Technology, to create the “Ultimate Mask Experience.” Taken from The Beauty Mask About Us Page

The mask I received was the Deep Sea Extract Moisturising Mask* this is ideally aimed at those with dry skin or dry patches, for me I have combination skin so I shouldn’t have really chosen this although I am suffering with dry skin on my forehead at the moment. This was definitely the best choice for me and I’m glad I chose this mask.

This mask is only made up of three ingredients, pretty impressive! These three ingredients are Deep Ocean Water, Seaweed and Hyaluronic Acid. Deep ocean water is the best source of natural ionic minerals and trace elements rarely found in continents. The deep ocean water provides hydration and its easily absorbed into the skin which helps reduce dark and uneven complexion. The seaweed is odourless, non-irritant and non-allergic which means this mask would be perfect for someone with sensitive skin. The seaweed has properties that can nourish, rebalance, smooth, tone, detoxify and hydrate. Lastly the hyaluronic acid is non-toxic, it also hold water which helps collagen in the skin hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is important n controlling tissue hydration. This is the perfect mask for me!

When using this mask I found it a little strange but that’s because I’m not used to sheet masks. It’s a little slimy to touch but it’s very soothing on the skin and my skin began to tingle not sure if that’s normal but after application I waited 20 minutes and removed the mask and my skin felt hydrated, silky smooth and just like normal skin. I applied my makeup after and I immediately noticed a difference I no longer had those dry patches on my forehead! My Skin looked flawless and bright!

Over-all these masks are fiddly but well worth the price of £4.90 per mask. My skin has never felt in better condition! I am seriously impressed and I cannot wait to stock up on these masks.

Back in January I got an email off Sarah from Ohh So Glam about an international beauty swap, in this email she added the girl in which I would be swapping with. Amy is from Vancouver in Canada and she blogs over at Vancouver Eyeshadow Addict, let me tell you Amy is a delight to talk to, from when we first exchanged emails I felt completely at ease talking to her about what I liked and what I didn’t like. Amy seemed to know me better than I knew myself and along with the beauty chat we would exchange emails daily about our day to day life! I was so fascinated that she was 8hrs behind us here in the UK and it was lovely speaking to someone nearly the other side of the world. I found shipping easy and not as expensive as expected. I was so shocked when the lady at the post office said it would take no longer than five days to get to Vancouver!

When Amy’s package arrived through my letter box I literally raced my dad to the front door! I knew exactly what the package looked like so I knew what it was as soon as I had my hands on it and I literally squealed! It was like Christmas has come all over again and when I actually got to see what the package contained I was blown away!

Now you’ve seen everything I received. I had the moment of disbelieve when I held these products in my hands. Amy chose perfect shades for me and she definitely knew exactly what I liked! I cannot wait to review these! I can’t choose a favourite product because I love them all so much!

I love reading these sorts of posts and I want to throw myself into my blog more, if you see where I’m coming from… I hardly ever used to wear makeup and now it is an essential to my day to day life, that’s down to the facial scarring I have but that’s a whole other story. I wanted to give you a glance at my everyday makeup because I have now perfected my routine and have a perfect every-day look for myself.

For the eyes; I have been really getting into my eyeshadow of late. I love cream eyeshadow! Every-day I am reaching for my Bourjois Colorband 2-in-1 Eyeshadow and Liner in the shad 04 Rose Fauviste. This is the most gorgeous rose gold pink shade (in my eyes anyway I may be colour blind). For Mascara I am always turning to the Bourjois Volume 1 Second Mascara I love this and it makes my lashes look so long! It took over my love for the L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara! For my eyebrows at the moment I don’t use anything every day because I’m looking into HD brows, my brows need a serious shaping and everything I hate them! I don’t wear eyeliner so that’s it for my everyday eye! Pretty Simple!

To add colour to my cheeks I always use Benefit’s Hoola to contour a little! It’s the perfect shade for me to contour with and then I take a fluffy brush and apply it to the rest of my face to give myself a little bit more of an all over glow. For the days that I want a little colour to my cheeks I have been turning to two products either Benefit’s Majorette or Maxfactor’s Crème Puff Blush both of these are really good blush’s and I always have that moment where I don’t know which to choose.

There is nothing better than having a salon standard manicure done by your own fair hands at home! Sensationail Deluxe Gel Starter Kit is just the thing to give you that perfect gel manicure at home. I was lucky enough to win this on Fleur de Force’s twitter just before Christmas and I was literally over the moon when it arrives so thank-you Fleur!

The Sensationail provides up to two weeks of dazzline, damage-proof colour to the nails which is great for me as i’m prone to chipping nails! I have been trying this out recently and I am in love so far. The kit comes equipped with:

This is really easy to use and comes equipped with instructions to make it that little bit more easier. To get the perfect manicure with this kit you must start by filing and buffing the nail, then apply the gel cleanser to the nail. I then apply cuticle oil and push my cuticle back but these instructions don’t suggest you do that. Then gel primer is applied to the nail and once that has air-dried a base coat can be put on (the mixture is a tad on the thick side so I’d suggest putting a thin layer on) and set in the LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Once set you can then apply the color you wish, I’ve only tried the raspberry wine which I absolutely love! It’s the perfect deep red and it also has a slight sparkle within the colour which looks so pretty on the nails. After one coat they need setting for 60 seconds, I found that two coats were enough and then seel that with a top coat. I didn’t actually use the top coat from the set as I found it better as a base coat, as a top coat it was too thick and wouldn’t set the varnish underneath.

Overall I am really impressed with this starter kit and I cannot wait to grab a few more colours to add to my collection. Hopefully I’ll have some shelving units soon to home my ever growing polish collection.

Makeup Revolution is one of the best upcoming brands in my eyes, I love a lot of their products and actually love using some of their products better than high end products. I actually use my makeup revolution palettes more than my urban decay palettes crazy right? Well it’s the time of the month where all my bills are paid and I’m waiting for my next payday to come around so I thought I would share with you my wishlist that I have saved on my makeup revolution account.

That’s the must have’s that I really want to try especially the lip lava’s! Just got to wait for payday, what things are you lusting over from Makeup Revolution? Personally I’d buy one of everything if I had the money!

Say hello to no more tired looking eyes. This product is a beauty all on it’s own, I managed to pick this up just the other day as it was sold out in my local boots store and even on boots online. Thankfully trusty Superdrug had them in stock and I couldn’t add to my online bag any quicker.

This is my miracle in a bottle for my eyes. I work nights so I don’t get much sleep in the day and when I do it’s still never enough so I have serious dark circles. Not pretty. When I picked this up I was a little apprehensive. I’ve always used a concealer either in a palette or in a stick form that I could use a brush or just apply straight onto my face and then blend it out with either my ring finger or a concealer brush. I’ve also always used corrector under my concealer too. That just goes to show you how bad my dark circles are!

This is where Maybelline really stepped up in my estimations with the application technique on this concealer. Don’t get me wrong I know there is other concealers that you can apply straight to your face but do they blend the product as well as applying at the same time? I don’t think I’ve ever found anything like this and I can see myself and this beauty wonder becoming very good friends. I do use the Duo-Fibre Contour brush to blend this in, and it’s the perfect brush for the job.

Maybelline claim that the Eraser Eye Concealer ‘Instantly conceals dark circles and fine lines’ this is spot on I couldn’t agree more. Firstly love the packaging, it’s sleek and non-fussy, it’s simple and that’s exactly what I like! Why would I want to be faffing round with a product for 10 minutes before applying it? It’s one of those twisty products which you have to twist to make the product come out which I haven’t always been overly keen on but actually didn’t mind it on this product. I look so much more awake when I have this on and I feel loads better for it as well. I love how it blends in so easily and it doesn’t sit heavy on the skin either which is a major bonus. I brought this in the shade ‘light’ and it’s perfect for my pale skin. I am seriously impressed and I am quite fond of Maybelline products. I would go as far as saying that they are my favourite drugstore brand. One thing I really love about this concealer is the fact that the formula is enriched with Goji Berry which helps care for the eye area by hydrating. The skin around your eyes is so delicate so this is something which has made me fall in the love with the product. It protects my skin and covers my skin until I look like I’ve had all the beauty sleep in the world.

Have you tried Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer yet? If not march yourself down to your local boots and get it!

Another lot of brushes to add to my ever growing collection and yet I still don’t have any eye brushes (as such). I love Real Techniques brushes and I am lusting over there new Bold Metals Collection but they are so expensive for the set I could cry! I got the Duo-Fibre Collection [Limited Edition] Black Set just before Christmas and I was overwhelmed when they arrived because of my love brushes.

I would say that these brushes are as soft as the normal real technique brushes and the design is fault-less as usual. I love the design they are so sleek, simple and easy to handle. I have never used a duo-fibre brush before and found it weird how the bristles of the brush are two sizes or well they seem two different sizes.

I have used both the face brush and the contour brush for blending, I tried to apply product with them but with the white bristles being longer than the black ones the brush didn’t pick up powder products too well but I have found they both do an amazing job at blending. I haven’t yet used the eye brush which I ‘oughta have done but I’m hoping that it will be just as great as the other two.

These are also super easy to clean, with it being new year I’ve been trying to get into a schedule of washing my makeup brushes after 2-3 uses, when it come to wash day I was really surprised at how easily, quickly and well these washed. These looked brand new all over again compared to my expert face brush by real techniques which was still slightly coloured with foundation.

Overall these brushes are fantastic and very useful for blending as I have found. I’m going to persevere with trying to apply products with them and see if I get anywhere and if I do I’ll be sure to tell you all.

I’m not shy to admit that I’m prone to the odd blemish and at the moment my skin has been at it’s worst since forever. I’ve tried everything from spot sticks to patches and nothing works as well as this product has. I have been using this product for the best part of two months now and I have really seen improvement’s in the look of my skin while using this product when I have needed it.

I love Merumaya as a brand. They do not test on animals and ensure none of their suppliers and do not either which is a massive thumbs up from me. They also don’t use parabens or preservatives MI or MIT in their products.

Merumaya’s Concentrated Spot Treatment* really is something special. It works in all kinds of way thanks to the different ingredients within the product. When using a spot treatment I hate nothing more than the product drying out the skin to make it look like you’ve then got a scab on your face, this is where the Concentrated Spot Treatment stands out from all the other spot treatments. Even though Merumaya’s Concentrated Spot Treatment contains salicylic acid which removes dead skin cells at the surface which helps dry out the spot, it doesn’t dry out your face too which means your not left with those horrible dried out spot scabs.

The Concentrated Spot Treatment has a strong fragrance which isn’t overpowering and it isn’t one of those horrible tea tree smells either. It’s actually quite pleasant and it reminds me of cleanliness. Do you understand what I mean?

I have a range of blemishes from tiny to massive and this is the treatment I always turn to. Nothing does the job better and some people may see this as very costly for a 10ml tube retailing at £14.50. You can purchase this either from the Merumaya website or John Lewis. I would happily pay £20+ for this because it simply does the job it’s supposed to and I even use it in my problem areas when I don’t have blemishes simply to keep the blemishes at bay. This product has worked over 3 days for me when using it night and day on blemishes I have and it’s a great feeling finding a product that actually works.

This is by far the best spot treatment I have ever used and I won’t be swapping brands anytime soon. I’ll be heading over to the Merumaya site myself soon to repurchase. Have you tired the Merumaya range? What are your thoughts?

I am super excited about this product right now. I received the LED Super Tweezers* a little over a week ago and I literally want to use them all the time. Tweezers with a light who doesn’t want to try it?

Being fair haired I have always had problems when tweezing my own eyebrows as I would miss those tiny little hairs that I couldn’t see with my sight deprived eyes! I can not pluck my brows while wearing my glasses unfortunately! Having a light on the tweezers made it so much easier! I was able to see those pesky little hairs and finally had a way of keeping my brows under control while waiting for them to grow out so I can have a professional look after them.

One thing I love is that these tweezers have a chain on them which means you can attach them to your keys and have them with you wherever you go. Plus it has a detachable mirror and nail file. Multi-tool or what. The mirror is on the small side and as my eye sight isn’t too great without the aid of my glasses I prefer not to use it, but I can see how it would be handy if you spot that one stray hair you can remove it which will stop you stressing over that one stray hair all night. Just me that does that or do you too?

It’s a very affordable product which retails at £5.99 which is more than reasonable I think. Although I have once spent £18 on a pair of tweezers before. The way in which this product works is that you have to twist up to reveal the tweezers and then push the arrowed switch up to get the LED light to work. One thing which concerns me is that the LED light is behind the tweezers to when using the tweezers you only get a bow shaped light to work with instead of a larger area covered by the light I have found it’s only precise spots that you actually see.

I don’t often pluck my own brows as I get my lovely boyfriend to sit and do the underneath stray hairs for me but I think even he may benefit from using these.

If you are interested in purchasing the LED Super Tweezers* they can be boughthere.

I am venturing out into the unknown for me which of course is eyeshadow. Let me tell you I am horrific when it comes to eyeshadow or so I thought. I’ve got the Naked 3 Palette which I’ve never been able to use properly if that makes sense. I’d follow YouTube tutorials and I could never get my eyeshadow to look like the girls on YouTube, I was the minority of girl who looked like her eyeshadow had just been shot out of a cannon and onto her face… yeah.

I really wanted to persevere with the whole eyeshadow thing and convinced myself that 2015 was the year that I conquer it. This past new years eve I set out to find a product that was made for me. After reading some reviews from various blogs I decided upon the Maybelline Color 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow. What a mouthful!

I have been seriously blown away with this product, seriously. They are a cream product which I love and they feel so silky and light on your eyes that you actually forget you have it on. These eyeshadows have serious long lasting power too. I can apply first thing in a morning at 9am and they won’t have budged when it comes round to 9pm. They are super easy to blend and they are also super easy to apply so if your not all that great with eyeshadow like me, these will certainly be a good step forward with the eyeshadow game.

I used these new years night and they looked absolutely gorgeous and I’m constantly reaching for them when applying my makeup. I have the shades Creamy Beige and On and On Bronze. On and On Bronze has definitely got to be my favourite out of the two and when paired with the MaxFactor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadows they really make your eyes stand out.

The Colour Tattoo 24 Cream Gel Eyeshadows are available in twelve different shades and they retail for £4.99 in boots. At the moment they are buy one get one half price in boots so they are well worth picking up!
